PREFATORY  NOTE 

The  Naval  records  of  the  Revolution  exjst  only  in  very  incomplete 
forms,  scattered  in  many  different  places,  and  having  little  of  official 
character.  The  "  Papers  of  the  Continental  Congress,"  which  were 
transferred  to  the  Library  of  Congress  in  1903,  contained  little  beyond 
the  bonds  given  by  Letters  of  Marque,  the  reports  of  various  com 
mittees  upon  naval  subjects,  and  an  occasional  letter  or  memorial  from 
persons  who  had  served  in  the  Continental  Navy.  The  Library  was 
iilrauly  in  possession  of  the  letter  book  of  the  Marine  Committee  and 
its  successors,  177<>-17SO,  an  extremely  valuable  series  of  transcripts 
so  far  as  it  goes,  but  a  mere  fragment.  This  poverty  of  record  may 
be  explained  in  many  ways.  The  early  efforts  to  establish  a  navy 
were  quite  unsuccessful,  and  it  was  soon  recognized  that  Great  Britain, 
possessed  of  a  sea  power  far  beyond  the  possibilities  of  America  under 
its  then  condition  of  blockade,  could  easily  neutralize  the  feeble 
attempts  of  the  States  to  equip  and  maintain  vessels  of  war.  Priva 
teering  became  the  easiest  method  of  annoying  the  enemy,  and  the 
profits  held  out  to  the  undertakers  made  it  a  favorite  form  of  mari 
time  activity,  until  even  privateers  were  few  in  number,  the  risks  of 
venturing  greatly  increased,  and  the  intervention  of  the  French  by 
sea  turned  the  scale  of  naval  advantage  toward  the  Americans. 

In  this  volume  are  included  what  fragments  of  naval  records  are  to 
be  found  in  the  manuscript  collections  of  the  Library  of  Congress. 
The  bonds  of  the  Letters  of  Marque  have  been  listed  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  indicate  all  who  were  concerned  in  the  vessels.  The  letters  of 
the  Marine  Committee  and  other  naval  papers  of  the  Congress  consti 
tute  another  division  of  this  volume,  and  will  show,  as  far  as  the 
documents  do  show,  the  service  of  individuals.  There  is  to  be  found 
among  them  no  list  or  roster  of  the  Navy,  and  it  is  only  from  an  occa 
sional  mention  that  an  officer.or  sailor  can  be  located.  The  John  Paul 
Jones  and  Peter  Landais  papers  are  not  listed  in  this  volume,  as  the 
former,  with  some  few  exceptions,  have  been  fully  treated  in  the 
"Calendar  of  John  Paul  Jones  Manuscripts,"  prepared  by  Mr. 
Charles  H.  Lincoln  in  1903.  Nor  has  it  been  deemed  necessary  to 
repeat  what  was  given  in  the  "List  of  Benjamin  Franklin  Papers," 
prepared  by  Mr.  John  C.  Fitzpatrick,  of  the  Division  of  Manuscripts.

4  PREFATORY    NOTE 

The  Robert  Morris  papers  are  not  included,  as  they  will  constitute  a 
separate  issue.  These  omissions  do  not  materially  affect  the  complete 
ness  of  this  calendar,  as  the  question  of  appointment,  rank,  and  serv 
ice  are  only  incidentally  mentioned  in  these  series  of  papers.  With 
the  assistance  of  the  records  of  service  printed  by  the  various  States 
of  the  Union,  this  calendar  will  prove  of  value,  and  must,  apart  from 
records  found  in  State  Archives,  constitute  the  one  great  source  of  the 
naval  history  of  the  Revolution.

considers  overruling  of  State  Courts  by  [United 
States]  Court  of  Appeals  in  case  of  Penhallow  vx. 
Doanc  ''derogatory  to  dignity  and  subversive  of 
sovereignty  and  independence  of  state;''  encloses 
copies  of  maritime  laws  of  N.  H.  showing  no  ap 
peal  possible  prior  to  the  confederation;  sugges 
tions  of  such  legislation  made  by  Congress  in 
177(5,  but  N.  H.  did  not  agree  that  appeal  from 
her  courts  was  a  right  or  even  required;  State, 
as  recommended,  erected  Maritime  Courts  for 
trial  by  jury  of  captures;  appeals  of  Congress  to 
States  confirmed  impression  that  former  body 
had  no  right  to  override  state  courts;  Articles  of 
Confederation  grant  right  of  appeal  to  Court  of 
Congress  in  future,  but  clause  does  not  apply  to 
earlier  cases  and  all  powers  not  expressly  given 
are  left  with  the  States.  Foregoing  letter  re
